This review discusses potential impacts of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from technologies such as Wi‑Fi and mobile phones on the central nervous system, neurotransmitter dynamics, and reproductive health. It describes proposed mechanisms including oxidative stress, thermal effects, altered neurotransmitter activity, ion channel changes, and neuronal apoptosis, while acknowledging conflicting evidence. The authors note that Wi‑Fi RF exposure has not been confirmed to exceed safety guidelines but argue that updated standards and long-term studies are needed, particularly for children/adolescents and in the context of expanding technologies such as 5G.

Key points

  • The paper is a review focused on RF-EMF exposures from common consumer technologies such as Wi‑Fi and mobile phones.
  • It reports that prior studies have linked RF-EMF exposure to potential nervous system and reproductive system effects, including embryonic development concerns.
  • Proposed biological mechanisms discussed include oxidative stress, thermal effects, neurotransmitter metabolism/receptor changes, ion channel dynamics, and apoptosis.
  • The review suggests the nervous system may be particularly sensitive to electromagnetic disturbances, especially with prolonged exposure in children and adolescents.
  • It states that studies have not confirmed Wi‑Fi RF exposure exceeds safety guidelines, but emphasizes uncertainty and debate about long-term risks.
  • The authors call for updated safety standards, refined regulation, and long-term investigations, noting increasing cumulative exposure including from 5G.
